Problem building project with Seam 2.2: incorrect work, if packed into jar file

[bitec]

Hello.

Quite simple question for SEAM professionals.

I used to have Richfaces project and integrated SEAM recently, created one component with @Factory method. Everything worked, when building project in Eclipse. But when I launched my ant file for creating .war file and deployed it to Tomcat - the @Factory method stopped to work. What I found:

- if I put classes and seam.properties directly to WEB-INF/classes directory - everything works after deployment (as Eclipse does)

- if I pack classes and seam.properties to the project.jar and put it to WEB-INF/lib directory - @Factory method is never called, seam component is not initialized correctly.

This is very strange for me, as classes should be loaded identically by classLoader both from '/classes' and '/lib' directories, but in this case this is not true.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry for misleading, the bug was in another place - I use obfuscation tool and we need to prevent obfuscating both public methods and private fields for Seam components to work correctly. Hope this will help anyone.
